    Willow isn't butter, it's "78% Vegetable Fat Spread with Fresh Buttermilk".

    If you like unsalted butter, then Aldi has "continental style" unsalted butter for about 86p.

    I'm sure you can get salted butter more cheaply than that but I don't shop for that.

    You can use veg oil in place of the butter, I do. You can also use olive oil or any cooking oil. You can also use spreads, even Willow.

    Next time you use the bread maker give one of the above options a try. You may find you prefer to use butter, but the bread made with a substitute will not be much different.

    we've always used oil in our breadmaker. Recipe does say butter but I never have that in! And the bread is always lovely :)
